Full review:

I've always been interested in the lives of royalty, so I was thrilled when Scholastic sent me a copy of The Real Princess Diaries.

Author Grace Norwich introduces readers to the background and lives of some of history's most intriguing and accomplished young female royals, including Grace Kelly to Kate Middleton. Each of the bio page for these young royals is illustrated with vibrant graphics, and interesting facts - e.g. Kelly's family paid a $2 million dolalr dowry to secure her marriage to the House of Monaco - tht is sure to stir the minds and hearts of young readers.

However, while the book does a wonderful job of sharing the stories of these popular royals, it's Norwich's focus on lesser known royals like Victoria Ka'iulani of Hawaii, which makes the book trutly worth it. It's informative not-often studied history, that will undoubtedly make readers want to dig further and read more.

Final verdict:

The Real Princess Diaries is a fantastic itroduction for young readers into the world of royalty, and the lives of some of the accomplished reigning royals.

With her vibrant graphics and interesting Did You Know...? facts, Norwich has written a book that will spark the interest and minds of young readers everywhere.
